1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Tic20 is a central, membrane-embedded component of the precursor protein translocon of the inner envelope of chloroplasts (TIC). In Arabidopsis thaliana, four different isoforms of Tic20 exist. They are annotated as atTic20-I, -II, -IV and -V and form two distinct phylogenetic subfamilies in embryophyta. Consistent with atTic20-I being the only essential isoform for chloroplast development, we show that the protein is exclusively targeted to the chloroplasts inner envelope. The same result is observed for atTic20-II. In contrast, atTic20-V is localized in thylakoids and atTic20-IV dually localizes to chloroplasts and mitochondria. These results together with the previously established expression profiles explain the recently described phenotypes of Tic20 knockout plants and point towards a functional diversification of these proteins within the family. For all Tic20 proteins a 4-helix topology is proposed irrespective of the targeted membrane, which in part could be confirmed in vivo by application of a self-assembling GFP-based topology approach. By the same approach we show that the inner envelope localized Tic20 proteins expose their C-termini to the chloroplast stroma. This localization would be consistent with the positive inside rule considering a stromal translocation intermediate as discussed.
